Artist's Comments

Hi, long time no see deviants! ^_^

I've been gone for awhiiiiile now, busy with the other nuisances of life. I don't have the free time that I used to have to dedicate myself to my favorite hobby.

So why all of a sudden am I here again? Well, I'll be getting my dream car, the Infiniti G37, in the next month or so. And something dawned on me while I was looking at the car's curvaceous curves and sexy exterior. I was reminded of a lil piece I did years ago, Sleek and Sporty: [link] , something I imagined that would be branded on my car at the time.

So I am nostaigally revisiting this piece, as I am most proud of this piece too. Sleek and Sporty is also the most ripped of my work. I've seen this ripped in every shape and form, from modified wallpapers to laptop cases to body tattoos to zippo lighters to public school logos to linux system themes and everything in between. It is so widespread, some people go as far as to believe that I am not the original owner and call me a ripper.

I can do nothing more than smirk. Everyone else knows I'm the O.G. hehe.

Thanks to everyone who took the time and effort to report their rip findings to me. Much appreciated.

And I hope you enjoy this revisted piece. ^_^ \/

An old favorite, it's still in my wallpaper rotation...and in my son's.

Hey, if nothing else, you can look at all those rips as a form of flattery...

DUDE! I am so glad that you're back! I had this tattooed on me but had your name incorporated into it as the artist. The guy thought I was nuts but I felt it was only fair. I hope we see more of your stuff real soon. Congrats on the sweet ride.

Ah memories, I do remember when this was not nearly as Sleek and Sporty, but has now been perfected to optimum Sleek and Sporty-ness.

Good to see you still around. =D

Some of us still remember the times long ago. Truth be told I was utterly shocked when I saw this in my message centre. Its great to see you're still alive and well, atleast I hope. For what its worth, all the ripping other people have done of your work should only serve as flattery. I hope this isn't the last we've seen of you.

I, too, had it tatooed on my arm - and whenever someone asks where i got it - i point them to your Deviation of the original. Rest assured, that the tattoo place that i went to DID NOT keep the stencil - they are completely against keeping other people's work..

I got it done as a complete homage to your orig. Sleek and Sporty and hope that you view that as a form of my utmost respect .. i love it..

This new one ROCKS... nice and subtle changes... beautiful..
